Nectarine

ha

and nobody can read any more, i guess now they want youtube videos just kill me

my ideal job really would be technical docs, but those are a bit rare

but i'm the only staff here who gives a fuck about the speccy and can tell you who produced a YM tune (i am lying, ViThor also knows, but)

demoscene lol.

i only do programming because i don't know any other skill that pays more. otherwise i will be stacking tins of beans.

Because there was no way I was going to learn it.

but thx for tip

i would rather eat glass

SICP

I was pretty sad when swift came out. I was like, "hey look. Another language to greatly reduce my employability options."

but it would require learning LISP

well LISP never fell out of fashion, true true

just use lisp, it's the future standard i swear

i'll cut you

Im pretty sure thats not how it works

god it makes me want to go back to java and SWING

maybe it will happen faster if i swear a lot on nectarine

why the fuck don't we standardise some of this shit.

https://racket-lang.org doesn't load in dillo

and yet next year i'll see "oh look a new language for hipster beards, called Wanko! it will work anywhere, as long as you have a fucking docking container called MOO COW. note: moo cow not yet available outside of beardy iPads"

*C lol

fucking hell i can't wait until i can use ANY language anywhere (i'm not asking for obscure tiny platforms, fine we can use c++ for those)

i'm using Common lisp due to it being compiled to native code and having relatively many libraries

and yet you still can't pick any langauge you want, and just code, you still have to worry about the target platform

know what's really dumb? the idea of having a virtual machine that can "run anythring". we had java in the late 90s. .NET in the early 2000s. people don't care about performance overhead of a VM if it does what they want

/* 2019-03: sorry, we have to relese this by april, we know it works, i copy-pasted. TODO: fix later */

But it is JIT, if that's what you mean.

at least put a courtsey note

No, Racket is like Scheme. Quite new and very well defined.
